Reverse Route Duplicates an existing route but in reverse
order.
Route A planned course of travel that is defined by
a sequence of waypoints. When active, the
route is used in the calculation of all naviga-
tion data except position, speed over ground
and track/course over ground.
Start and Destination Waypoint (FROM/TO) Waypoints
that mark the beginning and ending of a leg
of a route.
TDs Coordinate system using lines of position
determined by the Loran-C signals. Many
coastal navigators use TDs because Loran is a
familiar radio aid navigation and TDs are
clearly marked on their charts. Your
Magellan receiver can display position
coordinates in TDs by converting from LAT/
LON.
Time To Go The estimated time for the receiver to reach
the destination from its current position
based on the current VMG.
